I'm saying no! : standing up against sexual assault, sexual harassment, and sexual pressure / by Engel, Beverly.;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 273-278).Introduction -- Empowerment from the inside out -- Making changes from the inside out. Why it is so difficult for women to say no ; Knowledge is power ; Facing the truth about child sexual abuse ; Shame: the most damaging effect of sexual violations -- Out with the old, in with the new. Compassion for your suffering ; Connecting and releasing your anger ; Body-esteem: a new way of viewing your body and your sexuality ; Another key to empowerment: no more Ms. Nice Girl -- Standing up and saying "No!" Have your wits about out: strategies that can help prevent stranger and acquaintance rape ; Setting boundaries and limits ; Saying "No!" to sexual pressure and coercion ; When sexual pressure becomes intimate partner abuse or assault ; Saying "No!" to sexual harassment: from street harassment to sexual harassment at work ; If you are ready to report sexual assault or abuse -- Conclusion: Passing it on: continue to stand up."Thanks to the #MeToo movement, more and more women are coming forward to tell their stories of sexual assault, harassment, and child sexual abuse. But unfortunately there are still many women who are afraid to speak out. There are still far too many college students who are raped and too afraid to report it. There are still women who are being subjected to sexual harassment, sexual bullying, and sexual pressure every day but are unable to speak up and say "No!" And there are still women who are currently being sexually assaulted in their intimate relationships who are unable to report the abuse or to find the strength to walk away. Written specifically for women who are still afraid to speak up for themselves, especially women whose personal history of child sexual abuse or sexual assault, as an adult has wounded them so much they have lost their voice. I'm saying No! will help all women find their voice and their courage so they can better resist all forms of sexual violence." --
